Red Kite again.

I was amazed today to see a red kite soaring on thermals above the garden in my new home (Trottiscliffe, Kent). It was quite low down when first sighted but within just two minutes it was a mere speck in the sky. This second sighting suggests that there may be a resident population in the county.
Years ago when living in mid Wales I would see up to fifteen kites during the winter months when it was just about the only place in the UK where they could be seen, I never expected to see one over my home in Kent.
